Which is why the university should give him EVERYTHING he wants to keep him. They have the money.

Mack better figure something out or that seat will burn up. I think someone that could be good at Texas is Charlie strong a defensive Goo-too with that talent he doesn't even have to recruit look out.

One coach who is probably not on the hot seat but should be is Mark Richt in Georgia. Georgia has top 5 talent but in every big game Richt gets out coached. Georgia is more talented than USCe but Rich always gets out coached and has his teams unprepared for the spotlight. I think Georgia as a program has reached their apex under Richt which is 9-10 wins and a New Year's day (or thereafter) bowl and a postseason top 15 ranking. But living in the heart of Bulldog country, these fans are ready to go the next level but Richt is not the coach to take them there.

He should be fired next year if they stink again. He hasn't recruited well either outside of Aaron Bailey
“@BryanDFischer: Illinois had 29 yards passing vs. Michigan. 29." 45-0?
They also got killed by Penn State. 35-7?
Also Gary Pinkel isn't even close to being fired, ppl are oblivious about how bad they are in comparison to the "old man football" SEC. As Rack Em said they love Pinkel for some reason and think they are gonna dominate in bball (which they could; besides Kentucky of course).
I don't think Mack Brown will be let go this year, next year maybe

Not directly related to the hot seat, per se, but seems tangentially related. And hilarious.

I really hope not. What are the chances that Diaco gets a head coaching offer after this season?

Weis is going to make more money for his years not coaching than being a college head coach, incredible.

He is a terrible coach. Good ofensive coordinator. I bet he wishes he didn't leave gator land.

I've never done this in a post before and I am paranoidally thinking you were goading me into this but I will use this infamous one-liner to respond:
No.

I asked after I saw your post earlier. It just seems they had an opportunity this year and looked well prepared for it even after the loss to us. Then..... they started conference play.

Yeah they did surpise at first. Not sure what has happened since. Although Hope's contract just got extended at the end of last season too. He frequently makes questionable coaching decisons IMO. I also can't the 2 QB system that he runs. I understand if there is a lack of production or experience (like with EG/Rees) that a change may be warranted, but his constant shuffling with Terbush/Marve has no rhyme or reason to it.

The guys at Auburn probably won't leave cause they're going to be well taken care of there. Tuberville was dumped because he wouldn't play that game; Chizik was hired cause he sure would.
No, you have that backwards. He is one of the coaches on a hot seat that shouldn't be.
He picked up an UGA program that had dropped significantly since the Vince Dooley days and made them an annual top 10 team. The only rival he has a losing record against is Florida. And for the first time since 1981, they managed to beat all their rivals last year, a very tough challenge.

They've reached their full potential under Richt, they're not going to get any better under him than they are now. If the want to take the next step, to the level of a Florida, Alabama, or LSU, they have to have a coach that can take them there. Richt is not it. Every big game they play he gets out coached. He has his players under prepared and overwhelmed. He must go to bed and have nightmares about Steve Spurrier at night because he outclasses him and out coaches him almost every time they meet.
Richt is a decent coach and a good recruiter but he's not a top flight coach who can take UGA to the NCG.
I don't know where you heard that. Google Bobby Lowder. He RAN Auburn for many years. Coaches, Presidents, Trustees, Players, etc. What Bobby wanted, Bobby got. He was C.E.O of Colonial Bank (See Bank Failures) and ran AU's Board of Trustees. Lowder was the one that hired Terry Bowden (and brother Tommy) when Pat Dye got caught in the Eric Ramsey Scandal. The NCAA told AU to dump Dye. Auburn let Dye resign and then was appointed Assistant to the President of Auburn. Dye was a Trustee in Lowder's Bank. Lowder picked Terry Bowded as the heir. Dye agitated then as he is now with Chizik. Bowden got canned and Lowder induced Tuberville out of MS. It was Lowder's plane that carried the AU Pres, AD, and a Trustee to negotiate secretly with Petrino in season while Tuberville was AU's head coach. The 3 guys on the plane all lost their AU jobs but not the guy who sent them on his plane. After that fiasco Lowder was forced to hang on to Tubs but life obviously wasn't present.
Chizik was AU's first choice. If I recall correctly he was more like 4th, 5th, or 6th. Many coached didn't want to mess with the politics at Auburn. Chizik went 8-5 then got Cam for a year and went 13-0 and then went back to 8-5. This year he has no QB and may go 1-11. AU rewrote his contract after the NC. He has a substantial buyout but it decreases at $230K - $250K per month. There was a local article this week that AU will probably wait until December knocking off $.75 mill of the buyout.
I agree with you on Richt. The other posters comments don't jive with Richt's record. UGA wins less than 65% of its games historically. Dooley in the second most successful coach in UGA's history winning .715 of his games. Richt IS the winningest coach with .7400. There is one guy that coached 3 years in the early 1920's that won at a higher rate by an infinitesimal .00138.
Dooley actuall won a lessor rate of success than Richt. And keep in mind Dooley never had to face Saban, Suppier, or Miles.
Dooley did win a NC (with Herschel Walker) and 6 SEC Championships (3 were Co-champions) in 25 years. Richt in 11 years has won 2 SEC Championships but it's a bigger and tougher conference now than then.
Dooley was 17-4-1 against SCA. But the didn't have Spurrier or even Holtz. Joe Morrison, The Man in Black, was the only coach of note. Richt is 4-3 against Spurrier at SCA. How many coaches have done that well against Spurrier?
Dooley had to face Bear Bryant but only evey 3 years going 3-5. Richt is 3-1 against the Tide. 1-1 v Saban.
Dooley was 17-8-1 against the Gators when UF was not a SEC contender. Richt is 7-4.
The other poster says Richt has reached a plateau. Perhaps he has but it's a better plateau than they on at any time in their history. He took them to an new plateau.
If UGA sacks Richt who are they going to get? Petrino? Leach? Strong is doing well at UL but that's not the SEC. Guys like Saban, Stoops, etc are leaving what they've got now to go to Athens. Mike Riley who is from the South has turned down at least two SEC gigs in recent years including "coming home to mama".

With the way Dana Holgorsen has turned the offense around at UWV do you think there is a chance IF Texas get rid of mack that he would be intrested in that job?

Auburn lost to Vandy today making them 1-6 for the first time since Next week they have TAMU, followed by N. Mexico St, UGA, Alabama A&M, and #1 Alabama.
3-9 likely with no SEC wins.
ESPN says termination would cost almost $10 million.

Auburn needs to can Chizik. They could easily be 0-7, right now, despite several Top 10 classes.

Remember when the fans booed him when he got off the plane after he was hired? Then they loved him. Now they hate him again. Funny.
You Pawtucket fans are tough.

I root for Pawtucket over the hometown Scrankees (Scranton-Wilkes-Barre Yankees).
I hadn't thought about him. Bringing Jim Tressel in with his reputation would probably give a boost to Auburn's.

Tressel has experience with not knowing about illegal player benefits. He would be a perfect choice to take over at Auburn.

I know it's only his first year but I worry for Weis. The conflagration in Kansas appears to be fully engaged, and I don't think his "Super Bowl Rings" recruiting pitch is going to work as well this time around. His term might be nasty, brutish and short.
But Pinkel's not going anywhere. He built that program up from nothing, has been there a long time and he'll have a couple of years' grace period to adapt to the SEC. If they really want to win there, they'll have to hire a real SEC coach eventually (and even then it'll be tough). But Pinkel will get to make a graceful exit.
